Before its acquisition by Wells Fargo, Wachovia was the fourth-largest bank holding company in the United States based on total assets.

Starting in 2009, the Wachovia brand is being absorbed into the Wells Fargo brand in a process that was initially estimated to last three years. The merger of Wells Fargo and Wachovia bank charters was completed on March 20, 2010. This 4200sf ground-up project was completed in 16 weeks.
